In IE7, there is another layer of protection for the Cookies folder. Try this: Folder Options | View Uncheck the following box: Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)

Required reading IMHO before (re)installing IE7: Sandi's Installation Tips <= Steps #1-8, #10 & #11; take note of #12, then STOP! http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install (ignore any references to Vista) And I strongly recommend using http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx as the installation source, not Automatic/Windows Update. Alternately, use this Direct Download link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9ae91ebe-3385-447c-8a30-081805b2f90b Tip: Save the installer to your desktop, do not Run it. Make *certain* that you check in at Windows Update immediately after installing IE7 and install any critical updates offered. If Optional Updates category offers Root Certificates update, I recommend installing it to take full advantage of IE7's additional security.

Guest franktee Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Re: Issue with IE7? Hi Daave Along with your helpful advice, I also had to Tick "show hidden files and folders", in order to get back the cookies icon while in IE7.
